We applaud the results of the conference that concluded today. This
was a broad-based gathering of free Iraqis opposed to the tyrannical
regime in Baghdad. Free Iraqis came together in this conference to
accomplish two objectives: to agree on a statement setting forth their
vision of the future of Iraq; and to form a follow-up advisory
committee. They accomplished both these objectives. The conference
represents a strong statement of aspirations of Iraqis inside Iraq and
throughout the world for a better future. We support these
aspirations, and we look forward to working together with all Iraqis to
achieve them.
